1. What plan to charge people to drive downtown?

2. By the transit metric, Woolridge Square is better, too; but, honestly, taking the bus somewhere on a Sunday evening is kind of difficult due to the long headways.

Isn't charging for/limiting parking a good thing because it encourages use of mass transit or alternative (bike/ped) transport? Thought that was the theory behind the plan to charge people to drive downtown. How is this different?
